Baby Nguyen on the way!

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

As zucru ages, our members have gone from being students to professionals and from courting and dating, to getting married. Fellow zucru member Minh is no exception. He and his beautiful wife Donna are expecting their first little one. Minh has been with zucru from the beginning, from late night cramming to graduation and off to become a professional in his field. We were all there when he celebrated his marriage, and now we’re all together to celebrate baby Nguyen.

Currently based outta Calgary, they made the trek back to Winnipeg to celebrate with friends and family!

Congrats you two!

Mixed Menace gives us a monthly visit

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Well, zucru has been working Mixed Menace too hard and he’s finally bitten us back, and it hurts, we’ve demanded music every day and he was so angry he told us “NO!! you get it monthly now.” Yes that’s right just like that mysterious visit the ladies get, only ours is less painful and more enjoyable, and we look forward to our monthly visit from Mixed Menace.

So, sorry guys, I fucked up and I got us a monthly feed instead.

At least the music is still coming. We’ll get this scheduled music thing down eventually. So look forward to the next release, and we’ll have something up from a month within that time. Who knows maybe he’ll give us a bonus mix every once in a while to keep the hunger at bay!

Photo Gallery up!

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Hey guys, the photo gallery is now up and operational. Have a gander, it can be accessed from the navigation above as well.

We’ll post the lot of photos from our outings and gatherings. Check back here to get the latest photos from our budding photographers and novice clickers!

DMCC Edmonton Final Coverage

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

It was a great time in Edmonton thanks to my hosts.  I enjoyed the ride alongs and meeting all the DMCC drivers and Formula D personalities.  There is absolutely nothing like a live drift event.  Watching it on video does nothing like experiencing the sights and smells of being at the track. I must have gotten  the equivalent of a full tire in my nostrils and hairs from all the flying tire particles!

In car video of me inside Team BFGoodrich’s GTO’s.

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Today is a special day for one of our Zucru brethren.

Jessie Dela Rosa and Hazel Pilapal joined in matrimony today.

We are happy for the both of you and wish you a wonderful future and may you enjoy the many things to come. Perhaps a little brother for Kayla!

Does this mean Jessie’s Subie plans will have to pass management before reaching the shop?
